Player News
Pedro Florimon has tight hamstring
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5:00 pm ET) Twins infielder Pedro Florimon is dealing with a tight right hamstring and was out of the lineup Saturday against the Orioles. He is day to day. 

Florimon is available off the bench. He is batting .250 and has gone 6 for 21 (.286) thus far in May over six games with six strikeouts. 


Conor Gillaspie scratched Saturday
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4:55 pm ET) The White Sox scratched third baseman Conor Gillaspie on Saturday from a game against the Angels. Gillaspie was in the original lineup but had to be removed due to an upper respiratory infection, MLB.com reports. 

Gillaspie, who is day to day, has gone 6 for 29 (.207) in May over eight games. He's batting .278 this year with three homers and seven RBI. 


Aaron Hicks has minor elbow issue
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4:52 pm ET) Twins outfielder Aaron Hicks was given Saturday night against the Orioles off after extending a hitting streak to three games on Friday during a loss. He is dealing with a slight right elbow issue, MLB.com reports. 

Hicks, who is available off the bench, went 1 for 4 with a single Friday and is batting .137 on the year. He's only slightly picked things up a bit in May with a .194 batting average for the month thus far over nine games with five RBI and his first career homer. 

Hicks said he doesn't expect the elbow issue to be a problem, though it did feel a little sore Saturday. 


Fernando Rodriguez sent to Triple-A
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(4:47 pm ET) Houston outrighted outfielder Fernando Martinez to Triple-A Oklahoma City after he passed through waivers Saturday. The Astros designated him for assignment Monday. 

Clayton Richard set to begin rehab
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(4:42 pm ET) Padres pitcher Clayton Richard will make his rehab debut May 16 for Triple-A Tuscon, MLB.com reports.

He threw 40 pitches in a simulated game Saturday and was reportedly feeling better. It is not known how many rehab starts he will need before being ready to return to the rotation. 


Jonny Gomes looking like platoon player
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4:27 pm ET) Although Red Sox manager John Farrell says Jonny Gomes is not a platoon player, he hasn't started against a right-handed pitcher in almost three weeks, MLB.com reported Saturday. 

"But that seems to be where his best production comes," Farrell was quick to add.

Gomes, who started Saturday against Toronto left-hander Mark Buehrle, hasn't started against a righty since April 23. Daniel Nava continues to see most of the at-bats in those cases. 

Gomes had seen 16 at-bats in May entering Saturday and has gone 4 for 16 (.250) with a homer and five RBI. 


Eduardo Nunez still out of lineup
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4:22 pm ET) The Yankees made it a fifth straight game with infielder Eduardo Nunez on the bench Saturday at Kansas City. Nunez has a lingering ribcage injury and has not played since last Sunday. 

Nunez has been making progress, but he is not yet ready to return. He hopes to return Sunday. 


Octavio Dotel doesn't have structural damage
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4:18 pm ET) Tigers reliever Octavio Dotel visited Dr. James Andrews to get a second opinion on his injured right elbow, MLB.com reported Saturday. 

Dotel still is not feeling right in his right elbow, though Dr. Andrews found no structural damage. Dotel is expected to rest for six days before resuming a throwing program. He's still out indefinitely. 


Steve Johnson recalled for Saturday start
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4:16 pm ET) The Orioles officially recalled Steve Johnson from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to start in Minnesota. Alex Burnett was sent out to make room on the roster. 

Johnson has made three starts for Norfolk since coming off the disabled list. He is 1-2 with a 4.41 ERA in the minors. 

He has struck out 19 and walked four through 16 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old went 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP in 12 appearances (four starts) last season.


Marco Estrada feeling good after time off
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(4:13 pm ET) Brewers starting pitcher Marco Estrada expressed newfound confidence Saturday, and he credits the extra time off the team gave him after his most recent start. Estrada admitted to MLB.com that he was feeling lost after allowing eight runs in three-plus innings last Sunday, but the extra time off has helped clear his head.

"I feel a million times better," Estrada said. "I know those things are going to happen, but I didn't like how the mental aspect of it was lost. Normally, I feel like I have pretty good control over that. I didn't have it that day, but I've worked on it. Mentally, right now, I’m pretty strong."

Estrada had an extra bullpen session this weekend, but said he has not really changed his between-starts routine otherwise.

"I didn't really change anything except I threw two bullpens in between," Estrada said. "Mentally, I feel like I've prepared really well. I'm feeling pretty good right now. We worked on a couple of things in the 'pen, and today we’re going to do a couple more things that should help me out with balance and whatnot."

Estrada will start Monday against the Pirates, and will try to turn things around after posting a 6.05 ERA in his first seven starts.
